Warned in Advance
Jewish circles reveal that dele-
gations of young Egyptians visit-
ed Jewish-owned stores last week
and warned them to close down
on Friday. Chief Rabbi Haim Na-
heum Effendi, to whom the shop-
keepers turned for advice urged
them to keep closed and notified
the Egyptian • authorities of the
threats. Despite his warning, au-
thorities took no steps to protect
Jewish shops.
Regular services could not be
held in the Ashkenazi Synagogue
last Saturday, as a result of the
damage done by the rioters. The
inside of the temple, when this
correspondent visited it, was
Bathed in sun glaring down from
the shattered glass Star of David

with debris.

Radio Says Riots Stress
Need for Free Immigration
JERUSALEM, (JTA.)—The an-
ti-Jewish riots in Egypt demon-

neighboring Arab countries and
emphasize the necessity of allow-
ing them, and Jews from Europe,
to immigrate to Palestine, the se-
cret "Voice of Israel" radio said
this week.

Arab General Strike In
Palestine Passes Quietly
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Arab general strike in Palestine
called to protest admission of
Jews into the country, passed
quietly. No incidents were re-
ported from any par t of the
country.
While anti-Zionist riots were
taking place in Egypt, the Jews
of Palestine announced their de-
termination to continue the up-
building of the country by found-
ing - four new settlements over
the week-end on Jewish National
Fund land. Eleven more colonies
will be established within the
next few weeks.
One of the four settlements,
named Udeissa, is situated on the
Palestine-Lebanese frontier and
will house 60 families of Jewish
war veterans. Another, Hima el
Valid, is on the Syrian frontier,
in the Galilee district, where the
Jewish National Fund acquired
4,000 dunams of land from Syrian
land-owners. The third, called
Peretz, was - erected opposite the
Arab village of Kaku, and the
fourth settlement, Goulim, was
established near the Arab town-
ship of Tulkarem.
Many Arab guests from the
neighborhOod attended the cere-
monies at the establishment of
the Udeissa and the Hiam el Val-
id colonies.
A curfew covering all sparsely
settled sections of northern Pal-
estine was proclaimed on Sun-
day. Persons living in such areas
were ordered to remain indOors
between 5:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m.
The curfew, which is apparent-
ly aimed at curbing attempts at
sabotage, will be enforced also
in Haifa port and the industrial
area about a mile east of the
port, including the terminus , of
the pipeline from Iraq, the oil re-
fineries and the Palestine Elec-
tric Corp.
